Chapter 773: The Old Prince

The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills was bustling tonight, with a large number of paparazzi and entertainment reporters stationed at the entrance of the hotel, using camera lenses to record a relatively plainly dressed socialite, where a charity reception led by the Los Angeles Charity Federation was being held, and there were some well-known people in the United States entering the hotel.

Among them, many Hollywood stars who are enthusiastic about charity were also present.

Matthew's Mercedes-Benz business car drove directly to the door of the hotel, not giving the reporter a chance to surround the paparazzi at all, and after getting out of the car, he just glanced outside and walked into the hotel.

Since the previous business car was almost a hornet's nest, Mercedes-Benz recently equipped Matthew with a new car.

The car is also a custom-built version with excellent ballistic performance that can block most automatic rifles on the market at close range.

After the shooting, the sales of Mercedes-Benz business cars of the same style, which protected Matthew's safety, soared, and Mercedes-Benz also favored Matthew as a spokesperson.

Although Matthew's contract with Mercedes-Benz has not yet expired, Mercedes-Benz has informed Helen Herman that it is ready to start new renewal negotiations.

Now, Matthew is more cautious about commercial endorsements, and now there is no shortage of millions of dollars in commercial endorsements, if he gets a problematic brand endorsement, it will affect his reputation and affect other aspects of income.

Entering the Four Seasons Hotel's One Ballroom, Matthew saw many familiar faces, and many Hollywood stars came, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, etc., all chatting and laughing in the ballroom.

This kind of charity dinner, organized in the form of a cocktail party, is, to a large extent, also a place of socialization.

Matthew walked around the ballroom, greeting familiar and unfamiliar people, stopping occasionally to say a few words, but not much, until he met Julia Roberts.

"There are quite a few lots tonight. ”

The final item at the reception was a charity auction, so Julia-Roberts said, "Do you have a favorite?"

Matthew shook his head, "I only read the list before I came, and I'll talk about it later, if it really doesn't work, I'll just take a picture." ”

Since you have come to participate in the charity reception, you must leave a donation for charity.

Julia Roberts pursed her lips and smiled, "I haven't told you about London yet, thank you." ”

Matthew smiled, "Julie, you're too polite, it's just a little thing, I'm friends with Emma, of course I want to help her." ”

"Emma was spoiled by me. Julia-Roberts seemed to have a bit of a headache, "It's too impulsive to do things." ”

Matthew nodded, "It's really not good to do it. He then asked, "What about Emma, why didn't you see her?"

Julia Roberts pointed to the north, "I've been filming at Warner Studios lately, and she still has a lot of scenes." ”

"I haven't been on the set lately. Matthew explained simply, "I will meet up with the crew next month and continue to shoot the rest of the scenes." ”

Julia Roberts saw an acquaintance coming over and said, "We have time to talk again, an old friend is coming, I'm going to say hello." ”

Matthew also noticed the middle-aged man who had just walked over, and said politely, "Please, Julie." ”

Julia Roberts walked over to the middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face, and Matthew was just about to leave here when a hand suddenly appeared from behind him and grabbed his left arm.

A pleasant female voice immediately sounded, "Honey, why didn't you notify me of your participation in the drinking party?"

Hearing this, Matthew looked back to see Taylor Swift looking at him with a smile.

"I didn't know you were coming back. Matthew replied.

Taylor Swift stepped forward, grabbed Matthew's arm tightly, leaned against him like his girlfriend tonight, and whispered, "I'm your girlfriend, you should report your whereabouts in time." ”

Matthew raised his finger and shook it, but didn't speak.

"Okay, okay. Taylor Swift, for inspiration's sake, could only say, "I'm courting you, but you don't agree." ”

Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Matthew asked, "Aren't you touring the world? ”

Taylor Swift half-truthfully said, "I missed you and came back." ”

How could Matthew believe this kind of thing, simply didn't answer Taylor Swift's words, and continued to ask, "Is the tour over?"

Taylor Swift shook his head and was a little serious, "No, I'll take a few days off for a while, I'll come over and see you by the way." ”

Matthew smiled and nodded to a passing greeting man, then said to Taylor Swift, "When are you leaving?"

"Monday. Taylor Swift leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, "I'm coming back this afternoon, I know you're coming here, so I'll come directly, time is limited, let's go, go to your house, go now!"

Matthew smiled, "Don't worry, we've got a night." He patted Taylor Swift's hand lightly, "Since you're here, I'll leave when it's over." ”

Taylor Swift shook Matthew's arm, and seeing that he was unmoved, he had to endure it, and the drinking party was only two or three hours, and the Four Seasons Hotel was in Beverly Hills, not far from Matthew's home.

It's not bad to follow Matthew around the party.

As for leaving some money for the charity cocktail party, she doesn't care now, this money is nothing at all.

Matthew took Taylor Swift around the ballroom, and it wasn't long before he met acquaintances, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsohara and Universal Pictures president Ron Meyer.

Matthew must have exchanged a few words of greeting when he met these two heads of the Big Six, and he also introduced Taylor Swift to Kevin Tsohara and Ron Meyer.

A few people politely said a few words, and the topic quickly turned to the popular "Fast and Furious 4".

"The entire Universal Pictures hierarchy now regrets it. Ron Meyer wasn't upset, "Why did you sell the rights to this series to you and David Ellison?"

Matthew modestly said, "I'm lucky with David. ”

Having said that, when he and David Ellison exchanged the sequel rights of "Spartan 300 Warriors" for the rights to the "Fast and Furious" series, no one felt a loss, and there were many people who said that he and David Ellison were stupid.

Ron Meyer sighed softly and said, "Matthew, there's a chance to work with Universal Pictures a few more times. ”

"If the opportunity is right, it will. Matthew's words are watertight.

Kevin Tsuhara answered, "Ron, the Fast & Furious series would never be where it is today without Matthew. ”

Ron Meyer agrees that the "Fast and Furious" series can only continue to mold in the hands of Universal Pictures, so should it be better to find that famous coward Vin Diesel to return to play a tough guy?

Universal Pictures has already begun preparations for a sequel to "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and although King Leonidas was killed and could not invite Matthew, he signed a contract with Eva Green, and Queen Sparta will continue to star in the series.

A sequel to a blockbuster movie is still quite guaranteed at the box office.

After saying that it didn't take long, Ron Meyer had something to say goodbye early, and Matthew, Taylor Swift and Kevin Tsohara were left in this corner.

Matthew has worked closely with Warner Pictures over the years, and without Ron Meyer's presence, Kevin Tsuhara doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks.

"We have been working together for many years. Kevin Tsohara said directly, "You should hand over the distribution rights of the Fast and Furious franchise to Warner Bros., Warner Bros. will do no worse than Disney." ”

Matthew didn't go around in circles and said, "We talked about it at the beginning. ”

When choosing a distributor, Sky Dance Pictures negotiated with a number of companies, and Disney was chosen because Disney offered the best terms.

Kevin Tsohara spread his hands, "I didn't take over my current position then, my ex was really ......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Matthew smiled and said, "Kevin, haven't we been working together all along? Christopher Nolan's Inception hasn't finished filming yet." ”

"Hmm. Kevin Tsohara first nodded, and then said with regret, "It's a pity that you don't play a superhero, otherwise the Green Lantern will definitely look for you." ”

Hearing the Green Lantern, Matthew thought of the sinkhole, but his face remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said, "Didn't you find Will Smith? ”

Kevin Tsuhara smiled, "I hope so." He seemed to think of something, pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "Actually, there is still a chance, and I think we can work together more deeply." ”

Seeing that he was serious, Matthew also paid attention and asked, "What chance?"

"You should have seen Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, right?" Kevin Tsohara nodded when he saw Matthew, and said directly, "Warner Bros. is going to work with Peter Jackson on the "The Lord of the Rings" prequel "The Hobbit", probably two or three films. ”

Matthew didn't interject and waited for Kevin Tsohara to continue.

As someone who used to love the Lord of the Rings trilogy films, he certainly knew about the "Hobbit" series.

and Peter Jackson, a big fat man in New Zealand, became a first-line director with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and won the Oscar for Best Director.

He has also watched the former "The Hobbit", and his deepest impression is the aging elf prince.

Then again, will Peter Jackson's filming of "The Hobbit" bring Orlando Bloom back?

Matthew hadn't heard from Orlando Bloom in years, and he didn't know where the prince had gone or if he was still acting in movies.
